In the playoffs, the Chiefs have a tendency to make clutch plays that change games, and this evening was no different.
The Chiefs were awarded a fresh set of downs after the Miami Dolphins were called for a mild roughing the passer penalty in the second half against Patrick Mahomes.
Consequently, that drive would culminate in a score, which altered the game’s dynamics.
Was this roughing the passer on the #Dolphins?
Clear hold on the #Chiefs on this play as well…pic.twitter.com/RgMEKTxquG https://t.co/YywkQAnqEE— Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) January 14, 2024
